The listing is perfectly accurate which is much appreciated and the place is exactly as pictured! Walking to the MRT is indeed a 20-25 minute walk and although the walk itself is not long or difficult, the walkways are often uneven (sometimes even non-existent) and one needs to be aware and careful of the surroundings. I saw a local step out of a shop one evening and slip and fall! The walk itself is interesting - you pass the shops and businesses along the way, as well as small food vendors along the way. You also eventually reach the Huai Kwang market (open in the mornings I believe) and just beyond that is the MRT. Having said that, I tried the motorbike taxis with the direction cards thoughtfully provided by Sam and found that a good option although you do need to get used to them and the manner in which they drive (and also to Bangkok traffic!) - its just the (local) way things are though...The immediate vicinity is a residential neighbourhood, with local food shops and vendors, including an evening food stand set up by the housekeeper...there are also coin laundries nearby as well as several laundry services all run by very pleasant people... having said that my favourite shop was a local tea/coffee shop nearby (I am not so sure if they sell local food there too) and I regularly bought my iced tea/iced coffee from the nice lady vendor whom I miss already...Sam is indeed a Superhost par excellence, responsive, helpful and hospitable!
